The port can also be dynamically updated while the agent is running. Double-click the agent in the Workflow Editor in monitor mode and modify it. Save the workflow to trigger the agent to use the new port. For further information about updating agent configurations while a workflow is running, see Dynamic Update in L -1.2 Administration and Management.


Allow Multiple Connections

Select this checkbox to allow several TCP/IP connections simultaneously. If cleared, only one connection is allowed.

Number of Connections Allowed

If Allow Multiple Connections is selected, enter a number between 2 and 65000 to specify the number of allowed connections.

Send Response

Select this checkbox to have the collector send a response back to the source. If Allow Multiple Connections is selected, the collector expects a UDR extended with the default TCPIPUDR as a reply. If the checkbox is cleared, it expects a bytearray.

Note
titleNote!

Drag and drop in the opposite direction in the workflow to create a response route between the agents. The TCP/IP agent must be connected to an agent utilizing APL, since responses are created using APL commands.
